Family Counseling Therapists in Mebane, NC

Have you ever made a choice and immediately asked yourself: "Why in the world did I do that?" Imagine if you had talked with someone you trusted before you made that choice. What a difference some compassion and understanding can make. Lighten your burden with someone to walk with you through your difficult life choices. Whether you're wrestling with a work-related challenge or a situation in your intimate relationship, I can offer you a safe space, a ready ear, and help with the choices you're trying to make. Feel heard, understood, and confident in your decisions. That's what therapy offers.

Life can be challenging and remaining on a unproductive path can make us "stuck". I believe in the power of hope as a central factor in providing the motivation necessary for change that can propel individuals and families towards the future of their dreams. Shared hope for a positive future is the underpinning of all that I do. I am devoted to helping individuals and families fulfill their hopes for the future. It is known that positive expectations promote psychological and physical well-being. I focus on developing hope-inspiring strategies that mobilize internal and external resources for sustaining healthy change.

Trauma can seem staggering and unbearable.

Are you tired of struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting , academic or social problems? Through therapy, we can work together to find solutions that improve your life and allow you to live the life you were created to live. I enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults as they strive to overcome life's challenges. I use a wide range of therapies to assist you in meeting your goals and feeling better. I have 18 years experience working in a variety of setting, including school, agency and a psychiatric hospital.

I believe therapy should be a collaborative effort between client and therapist. While I may share some evidenced-based ideas during our sessions, only you are the expert on what works for you. My sessions will generally follow a cognitive behavioral approach, meaning that we will examine, and possibly shift, your thoughts and perspectives on life situations that are causing you enough distress to want to pursue change. Together we will form a plan of action that is the right fit for you at this point in time.

I use various therapeutic techniques to assist individuals, couples, and families take the journey into discovery and healing. Marcel Proust states, "The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." Through counseling, it is my goal to help individuals and/or families gain new "eyes" through which to view current or past experiences and to discover how thoughts and beliefs shape our moods, behaviors, and relationships. James Allen states, "The life we lead is created by our thoughts. If we would like to improve our life we will have to improve our thoughts."

The demands of work, parenting, and life in general have become overwhelming and you feel like nobody "gets you." Let's talk about this! To the outside world, you look "fine," but inside, you feel downright exhausted, and you no longer want to pretend everything is okay. Your stress level has reached an all time high. Maybe you're experiencing "Superwomen Syndrome", prioritizing others but rarely finding time for yourself. Maybe you're feeling invisible and misunderstood. You're ready for change. Whatever curveball life has thrown you, you want relief!

*PRACTICE IS FULL - KEEPING A WAITING LIST* Every person I serve has a unique story. While some clients experience trouble in just one area, most experience difficulty multiple areas (mental health, trauma, loss, addiction), creating a complex, vicious cycle if not all parts are addressed. The circumstances that bring someone to therapy do not come in 'neat little packages.' I enjoy sorting out the pieces with each client, getting to the root of the issue, and offering a combination of evidence-based therapeutic interventions that help clients finally begin to experience relief, and start living a happier, more fulfilled life.
